R.I.P. Dave's Youth

Yes, sadly Dave's youth has died. He turned 30 last week. So long, farewell...

Ok enough sulking, let's get to the parties. His birthday was last Monday. We gave Dave a new expansion to the game, Dominion, called Seaside. I actually gave it to him early so he could play it while all his family was here. He also got a new shirt and I put a book together full of memories that family and friends sent to me. Lots of good reads.  He also got some cards and money from family.

After Dave got home from work, we headed to dinner at Red Robin with family. Then we had cake and ice-cream at his dad's and that was all we did on his actual birthday.

On Saturday, we had a party with friends. We played "Minute It to Win It" games. Can you tell we are fans?  We had a great night. Of course I decorated so here are a couple of shots.

I also hung balloons but who cares about those enough to take a picture?
 
And here are some shots of Dave in on the action. We played girls vs. guys and sadly the girls lost from the tie breaker. Oh well, it's only fair since it was Dave's birthday. For more pictures, check out the album on my Facebook.

Goodbye 20's.
 
(Quick story about the glaze on the Applesauce Cake.  I asked Dave to make it so I could take Jocey over to our friend's house for the night.  When I got back, I happily noticed that he did it.  Some how the process of making the glaze came up.  I said something about boiling it and Dave said he didn't do that.  I said that's what the recipe called for.  And then I realized, that part of the instructions were on the back.  Dave had not flipped the recipe card over.  This also means, two ingredients were missing from the glaze.  Luckily, it still tasted just fine but was a little grainy.  He made it with butter, baking soda, and sugar.  However, it also called for milk and vanilla and then to boil it.  We had a good laugh and luckily people were still willing to try it and liked it.)
 
Happy Birthday Dave! We hope you make it another 30 years!
